The Ecstasy of Ecstasy Has A Price

This young man stopped abusing various drugs like Ecstasy, and he has been clean for some time now. Now he suffers from premature ejaculation and penis shrinkage caused by both excessive masturbation and drug abuse. What's going on, and can he repair the damage in time for him and his girlfriend to experience a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year? Read on, get the facts, and find out what he and you can do to get back to normal.

Case #: 1325

Concern：

When I was 19, I did drugs like Ecstasy for about a year and a half. I've been sober for three years now, and I've been taking body-cleansing supplements and vitamins. Despite these supplements and vitamins, I continue to experience premature ejaculation, which allows for less than five minutes of pleasure.

I too must confess to masturbating two to three times a day since the age of 15. I speculate that my masturbatory habits lead to another problem: penis shrinkage. Now that I have a girlfriend, I want to enjoy intercourse for the upcoming holidays. What treatments can help both my premature ejaculation and shrinkage problems?

Discussion：

Imagine a guy hitting himself with a hammer because the pain provides a sense of elation. Taking Ecstasy mirrors the hammer to the body analogy, but instead of breaking bones, it breaks your nerves and disrupts necessary chemical balances. The elation Ecstasy provides damages or destroys brain cells that produce three specific chemicals: serotonin, acetylcholine and dopamine.

Brain Chemical Drain

Serotonin controls mood, sensitivity to pain and even ejaculation control. The damage to this chemical temporarily increases because the neural connections become blocked. However, extended use of drugs cause the body to react by decreasing the amount of serotonin the body manufactures, leaving you with far less ability to control bodily functions, such as eye focus and movements, sleep cycle, temper and ejaculations.

Acetylcholine and dopamine, neurotransmitters that help you focus, control your major voluntary body movements. Dopamine, meanwhile, serves another critical function: converting testosterone to DHT, a conversion that builds muscle mass and increases penis size. Significant deficiencies of either chemical will result in the nerve spasms. And yes, Ecstasy reduces your ability to manufacture both acetylcholine and dopamine, too.

Neural Network, Fried Sunny-Side Up

Prolonged use of Ecstasy will over stimulate your parasympathetic nerves. Similar to running too much electricity through a wire, the nerves will burn out. Your nerve endings will stop getting the signals to manufacture nitric oxide, the critical chemical necessary for achieving and sustaining an erection.

What's Going On?

Premature ejaculation and penile shrinkage is a sign that your current regimen of body cleansing is insufficient; the Ecstasy-produced toxins still in your system continue to disrupt your neural networks, a sign that your liver is not working at its proper capacity. Your shaky hands and muscles spasms serve as signs that your acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin levels remain low, which means that the glands that manufacture these chemicals have not completely regenerated, even after three years.

What Can I Do?

Congratulations on taking the first and most important step: You stopped taking Ecstasy and stayed away from it for three years. Keep it up! Beyond that, the good news is that you will be able to regenerate your neural networks. The not-so-great news is that the process may take most of the time between now and the holidays (at least three to six weeks). No “power” treatment exists to repair the damage, but you may want to wait a little while longer rather than trying for a quick fix that may cause more damage.

It's possible that your healthcare provider will have suggestions for foods you can eat to boost your liver functions, but an herbal supplement designed specifically for repairing damage resulting from Ecstasy usage may help you. (TRY: Ecstasy Damage Rejuvenation Control for Erections)

Remember the guy who kept hitting himself with the hammer? Staying away from Ecstasy is a lot like putting that hammer down, a sign that you're smart enough to look for better ways to have a good time. Healthy exercise and herbal supplements are excellent starts to recovery.
